Remember:
- If you are involved in an accident, injury, or condition, you are required to report the incident and record it in the accident book at your workplace - even if there is no time lost from work.
- It is important that you to file Workers' Compensation claims as soon as possible after an injury or after becoming aware of any condition.
- Make sure the doctor gives you the right Workers' Compensation paperwork.
- Whenever you get a letter from the insurance company or the Workers Compensation Authority, you should contact your workplace union right away.
- No one should sign anything or talk to any investigators or assessors. Get advice and help from your workplace union.
- If you're having problems with your payments, contact your union.
- Keep a copy of everything.
- Contact your union or Union Assist first before getting your own solicitor. This could save you a lot of financial stress and may effect the success of your claim.
